We grew up in this town together
Walking side by side.
Our times spent together are my treasure;
In my heart they'll always reside.
We're natural with each other;
I know I don't have to hide.
With you it's okay to fear;
I know it will be alright.
Because I feel so assured
That the storms will always subside.
So I'll look forward to the future;
Push forward with all my might.
In the same way you'll never let me drown,
I'll make sure to hold you tight.
When I see you happy,
It makes me feel warm inside.
I hope we can be together forever,
So I can always feel warm inside.
It's meaningless without you
Right here by my side.
I don't remember a time ever
When you're not here by my side.
You're always pulling me along,
Like a gentle ocean tide.
You embrace me like the water;
My heart to you I can confide.
You rekindle my fire;
Your light is my guide.
You're always here to make sure
I never lose my sight.
I know I can count on you
To put me back in stride.
You'll always reach out your hand to me
And I'll always hold it tight.
Your smiles are always so tender
And I want to protect that light.
You understand me like no other,
Having always been here by my side.
I'm glad you're here for me,
Always by my side.
I know I'm home because
You're right here by my side.
A/N: I wrote this on a whim. I hope this was okay... Please forgive my sorry attempt at rhyming... Thank you so much for reading!
Bonus (the line which didn't make it into the poem): I promise to take care of you forever, so Makoto, won't you be my bride?
